Create Accruals for Volume Programs
The Create Accruals for Volume Programs scheduled process checks eligibility of the invoice lines, aggregates, and creates channel program accrual entries for the eligible transactions. A supply chain application administrator can create the channel accruals on demand or schedule it as a batch process on a periodic basis.
Unlike supplier rebates, supplier annual rebates don't create an accrual for each invoice line. Instead, qualified invoice lines are aggregated, and a single accrual is created. Invoice lines are aggregated by business unit, program, volume rule, period, item, ship-to location, bill-to location, and alternate supplier site, if applicable. This is an important distinction from supplier rebates.
